Federal agents investigate after a disruption on an international flight from Chicago to Germany that was diverted to Cleveland. (Photo provide by a passenger)
Updated 7/9/11 6:12 p.m.
CHICAGO (WBBM) – A special flight to Frankfurt, Germany, is finally in the air Saturday, a day after it was supposed to leave Chicago.
Some Chicagoans have quite a story to tell about the flight from O’Hare to Frankfort that was diverted Friday to Cleveland when a passenger was found hiding in the bathroom and went ballistic when he was confronted.
Joe Shulfer of Woodstock had his noise-cancelling headphones on and was sitting by himself on United Airlines Flight 944.
“The flight attendant just ran up to me and literally grabbed me by the shirt and said, ‘You need to come with me now,’” the passenger told Newsradio 780.
LISTEN: Newsradio 780′s Mike Krauser Reports
They came upon three men wrestling with another passenger who, Shulfer learned, had been in the restroom for 20 or 30 minutes and wouldn’t come out.
They handcuffed the suspicious passenger and tied up his feet, but he started spitting and swearing, Shulfer says.
“So we duct-taped his mouth shut,” he says. “He was able to get that off himself. He almost choked himself by swallowing the duct tape.”
Then they secured a surgical mask over his face “just to get him to kind of shut up and stop spitting all over everybody.”
Shulfer says he heard from United that the man had a boarding pass but wasn’t on the passenger list.
Bomb sniffing dogs were brought in but turned up nothing unusual. The plane was eventually allowed to fly back to Chicago. So far, officials have said nothing about charges. CBS 2 blurred out the suspect’s face because he has not been charged.

Because you can’t open an airplane door when the cabin is pressurized, buddy. Maybe you should look into things like this before you say something awesome.
July 9, 2011 at 3:28 pm
You can open the door of an aircraft if it is below 10,000 feet. They only pressurize an aircraft to an altitude of something like 8000 feet.
Once below 10,000 feet you don’t need oxygen and you can open the doors in flight.
July 9, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Josh…..
Maybe you should be doing some thinking too…. while it’s SARCASTIC to say open the door and throw him out…. 10,000 ft wouldn’t be the problem… AIRSPEED would be the problem. Cabins are pressurized to between 8 and 10,000 ft equivalency, and LOTS of people live near 10,000 (including me) in the mountains of the western US.
July 9, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Joshua:
Perhaps YOU should learn before you speak: Below 10,000 feet, the pressure difference inside the plane and outside of the plane is insignificant and because this pressure difference is so small, the operation of the door would not be effected. The plane is essentially not “pressurized” below 10,000 feet because the outside pressure has not dropped significantly requiring pressurization. Unpressurized airplanes routinely fly above 10,000 feet all the time (they must to get over mountains). Drive to the top of any 10,000 foot mountain (Northern Cascades?) with an inflated balloon, and you will see very little difference in the size of the balloon (i.e.very little change of atmospheric pressure)from 1,000 feet to 10,000 feet.
July 9, 2011 at 3:53 pm
@ Joshua Teale – You are correct that doors cannot be opened if the cabin is pressurized. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that’s why John said to have the pilot drop down below 10,000 feet – because then you wouldn’t need a pressurized cabin. Perhaps you should look into things like this yourself, before you say something awesome.
July 9, 2011 at 3:57 pm
John, God bless you, you’re correct.

I think 3 or 4 times is more appropriate, not just twice. Yes, we have to be sure.

The story stinks. No information about who this person is, where they are from or anything else. Does not pass the smell test. Ergo .. be afraid and we need more intrusive security that you will be paying for with more than money.

July 9, 2011 at 1:47 pm
How do ‘we’ know? I see zero information about who this person is or what they actually did. If it turns out he has done nothing then a massive law suit against the airline and also each individual too. Kidnapping and assault come to mind as starters.
July 9, 2011 at 11:15 pm
Just goes to show what a person will do to get out of that cesspool Chicago.
July 9, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Not coming out of the bathroom allows people to wrestle you to the ground and duct tape your mouth shut (with a gag that can be choked on) ? I have on occasion needed to use the rest room for this length of time.
Getting a boarding pass would be simple if he had gotten past security, someone may have dropped theirs. What we are not hearing is that he had anything more dangerous than constipation. Nobody who knew what or why was interviewed only the person with sound proof headphones. I seriously doubt that the airline would have (truthfully) told anyone that someone had a boarding pass and was not on “list” to fly, perhaps they forgot to check the bathroom before the last flight ?
Was this story even confirmed by anyone other than a caller to a radio talk show who said he was there ?
July 9, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Alex don’t be such a sucker.
THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE: If they opened the door and he was in the middle of going to the bathroom, they would be embarrassed and would apologize and close the door right away. They wouldn’t have tackled him and duct taped his mouth if he was just pooping or peeing. HE WAS OBVIOUSLY DOING SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS THAT WARRANTED HIM TO BE TAKEN DOWN. The flight attendant knocked lightly on the door and the man refused to say anything or to come out, periodically. He wasn’t going to the bathroom. He was trying to do something to cause harm to the flight, or another dry run, test run, trial run, etc. You don’t tackle and duct tape someone for using the restroom. Use your head instead of putting it up your butt. Not to be mean, but seriously dude, think about it. They wouldn’t have done what they did if he was just naturally in the middle of taking care of his business.
July 9, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Americans are too cowardly to take such a stand. When you have too much, you appreciate nothing. Americans are too beguiled by their stupid dogs, picking up dogsh!t every day of their retirement, that they forget any purpose or meaning of their lives. In so many words, Americans have become pathetic losers.
July 10, 2011 at 12:17 am
Hoser Jose @12:17 is tres funny. Teh Stupid is strong in this one.
YO! Hoser! If your statement had ANY validity then Americans would be paddling innertube boats away from America to some paradise of your choosing. Instead people are STILL braving death to get here. QED. duh.
July 10, 2011 at 9:52 am
Do you have a brain? If so try using it! Not pulling you head out of your rectum s also causing the constipation from which you are suffering It is also depriving what you try to pass off as a brain from oxygen. Thus negating any common sense you may have had in the past.

Dear CBS:

And THESE are supposed to be the smartest people in the room?
Thanks,
P.S. Who was the passenger? Just asking…

Frankfort is also in Illinois… it’s a Chicago suburb. They probably got confused (I’m sure it happens a lot there).

Once again we have the enemy within( crazy Muslims) and the Democratic Party ringing their hands to try and protect the bad guys. I already have reduced my flying time by 90%. 48,000 TSA clowns can get fatter ( if that is possible) doing nothing.
July 9, 2011 at 4:56 pm
To the writer of this article. There in NO Frankfort in Germany. It’s FRANKFURT.

These white, female, Catholic/Jew, Tea Party affiliated, old, angry, evil, hard working, business-owning upstarts are ALWAYS trying to blow up planes. ALWAYS. If it wasn’t for those white, female, Catholic/Jew, Tea Party affiliated, old, angry, evil, hard working, business-owning upstarts, Muslims wouldn’t be upset and have to take action.
July 9, 2011 at 5:17 pm
If the TSA merely declared: ALL MUSLIMS WILL BE SEARCHED INSIDE OUT, CORED LIKE APPLES, BEFORE FLIGHTS, we’d never hear these stories anymore. Muslim creeps would never try doing test flights and dry runs in the first place.
July 9, 2011 at 5:21 pm
What does a MuslimPab look like?
July 9, 2011 at 7:51 pm
Wrong. Thats what they’d like you to think but in reality the primary target IS you and anyone who cares about the constitution. Remember this post, the new face of terrorism is the “radicalized american extremist.” He will be seen to be “spouting rhetoric” about The Constitution and “Conspiracy Theories” in order to paint those who do as dangerous. Google MIAC Report, and then Fabled Enemies.
July 9, 2011 at 8:14 pm
Why didn’t the captain just continue on to Frankfurt? We’d be rid of the troublesome passenger, the airline wouldn’t have lost money on the flight and the passengers would not have been inconvenienced. I would have let the Germans handle him and forget it! It’s obvious he didn’t have any weapons after the passengers “took care of business”. He’s lucky the passengers did not give him the ultimate “coup de grace” as most travelers today would probably have done. I applaud them for their restraint.
July 9, 2011 at 5:55 pm
No person from any of “those countries” should be allowed to fly on any Western airline or enter the US without a very good reason after being completely vetted by our officials. These folks are a real problem and they are not rational in most cases. We should develop our own energy resources and cut all ties to such violent nations completely. Those who are suspected to be dangerous need to be sent home humanely and never allowed to return to our shores. Those of the Religion of Peace are not needed for anything. Heck, they can’t even build a bicycle!
July 9, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Once again, the media deprives us of an accurate description of who was the trouble-maker on the flight. It seems, fair or not, that you have to infer a “flash mob’ is a gang of teen/young adult Black thugs. And you infer “unruly (airplane) passenger means Muslim. Political correctness is ugly and a form of censorship.
Personally, I think he was in the bathroom taking a Shiite!
July 9, 2011 at 6:11 pm
that guy’s in deep shiite.

“had been in the restroom for 20 or 30 minutes and wouldn’t come out.”- Sounds to me like he had some Taco Bell, leave him alone.

my question is, why did they stop him, i mean if he had choked then he would have been quiet

Hey Hoser why dont you bring that “Americans are losers” attitude to Boston baby. Then well see who the loser is. You mud races are ruining america and seem proud of the fact.

I for one am sick of this race card game you worthless people like to play. Why work for something when you can cry racist and get a free ride. You sir disgust me to my soul.

How much of the debt/deficit could we eliminate by dissolving TSA?

July 9, 2011 at 7:47 pm
We are not told whether he three dudes casually standing around near the bathroom assaulted the suspect first. Notwithstanding this omission, a bit of common sense might dictate that they were asked to assist after the suspect likely physically resisted leaving the lavatory. “Uh, hey, would you gentlemen like to come over here and ask this guy nicely to leave the toilet? Perhaps if we can find another we can get a quartet and maybe he’ll leave if you sing a nice tune.”
The airline owns the plane. They make the rules, which you as a passenger must adhere to, or alternatively, you must opt to fly on some other company’s plane. If they make a reasonable request for you to leave the toilet after some long duration and you resist, that constitutes suspicious behavior and there are standard operating procedures when responding to said behavior.
In summary, yes, he is almost certainly a Jackhole by all reasonable standards, which demonstrably oppose your ridiculously PC adherence to that which is contrary to the obvious.
July 9, 2011 at 8:43 pm
“NOT on the passenger list”.
TSA is on the job protecting by searching babies and senior citizens while potential terrorist get through.
July 9, 2011 at 9:18 pm
Second time we’ve had it reported within a week that someone was on a plane that shouldn’t have been there…that shouldn’t have even cleared “security.”
July 10, 2011 at 8:54 am

I agree 100%! My husband has to fly occasionally for work but otherwise we drive (and can hardly afford to that in this bad economy). It will be a cold day in h*ll before we let the TSA perverts try to undress our disabled daughter.
If everyone except those people who absolutely must fly for work or lose their jobs would boycott the airlines for just 2 weeks the airlines would demand that something be done. This is the second person in about three days to get on a plane who was not on the passenger list.

it was a 21 yr old saudi. He caused a problem on the plane. He was in the bathroom fiddling with the wiring. He picked a fight with the flight crew. He spit on people. He caused high distress for every one. The flight went to defcon 5. The perp took a beating as he should.
This is a fact. He was suspicious in the terminal. He was suspicious to the flight crew as he walked on. But non one could say anything because of the PC attitude. No profiling.. Sheesh. This perp had every oen looking at him. It didn’t take a professional to notice he was a problem. TSA coulda picked up on it if they were using real techniques instead of the grope test.

You’ve stated many things as facts, as to the bathroom-guy’s identity. How do you know? What is your source?
July 10, 2011 at 2:36 am
If he got past the TSA, it is probably because they were too busy getting grandma’s diapers changed, checking some 5 year-old’s genitals, or stealing electronic gadgets from people’s luggage, so they could sell it on Ebay. I’m amazed at how lucky we have been up to this point, in not having another incident of a plane being bombed. Between the crazy rules and the low quality of many of the screeners, it should be easy for Omar the terrorist to find a way to get his bomb on board a plane.
July 10, 2011 at 12:33 am
just another TSA failure. how the TSA can justify their existence or continued trampling on our constitutional rights defies logic. don’t worry though, it’s time to make grandma take her soiled diaper off…meanwhile muslims with C4 in their underwear are allowed to board freely. we deserve it though. any self-respecting nation would fire these bums and disband their corrupt agency, but we want to feel “safe” instead of profiling muslims. mindless, tolerant sheep deserve the abuse they receive.
July 10, 2011 at 2:03 am
Many Americans already have boycotted flying.
At least unless its absolutely required we don’t fly. Who needs the TSA hassle?
It’s sad that the terrorists have won but until the TSA is run by elected officials who are spoken to by the public about how they want to fly this ain’t gonna change.
It’s partially why the airlines are in such bad financial shape.
Personally I would fly a lot more if I didn’t have to deal with all the bureaucracy and added government expenses.
July 10, 2011 at 4:17 am
I wouldn’t be surprised if the story had left out the “Allah Akbar” part.

he left from an airport that uses government run TSA. He was smart enough to go to a TSA airport , not one that uses private contract security as many sensible airports have done. There are no effective, efficient government ruin organizations, outside of the military.
July 10, 2011 at 8:07 am
It’s time to quit pretending TSA can guarantee airline safety. Why not focus our energies on bomb detection, and quit worrying about granny’s knitting needles. After the lesson we learned on 9-11, passengers will never again allow a terrorist to take control of an airplane. Think of how pleasant flying would be if we just eliminated the whole security checkpoint hassle. We’d all be safer if we simply allow passengers to carry the tools they might need to help protect the plane.
July 10, 2011 at 8:15 am
This is the second story in a week of someone being on a plane when they weren’t supposed to be there. Are these dry runs for a future plan?
I’ll bet there are 10 or 20 other instances that have gone unnoticed.
If you are flying, please be extra vigilant and report ANY suspicious behavior.
July 10, 2011 at 8:24 am
Why is everyone so concerned about his race and national origin? He’s not a terrorist, he’s just a crazy person. Does it really matter where he’s from?

Dang it, he forgot to put the lid down after he was finished!
July 10, 2011 at 8:52 am
Another stable Chicagoan makes the news. On the other hand if he had a boarding pass but the airline did not have him on the passenger list I can only imagine how helpful the airline must have been in resolving the problem. Sneaking on board and hiding in the restroom was this poor nut’s way of forcing the airline to do what it should have done in the first place. If all the wrestling and duct tape and being bound up was not enough humiliation…they dropped him off in Cleveland. Talk about the final insult.
July 10, 2011 at 8:53 am
An arab doing terrorist stuff is going to want to be out of sight but if possible watch and listen carefully. A person with agoraphobia , fear of flying, claustrophobia, etc. etc. is also going to hide from crowds, from people noises, and/or from views out the window and perhaps airplane noises. OK, Sherlock which one wears sound canceling headphones? And which one of the two types winds up not being charged? You people who think this is an oriental terrorist are not doing that thinking with very many of your “little gray cells”.
July 10, 2011 at 9:11 am
Maybe we should just outsource the TSA jobs to Israel, then we don’t have to worry about being politically correct.
July 10, 2011 at 9:33 am
It’ll require some technology at the gate end. Your boarding pass needs to be bar coded (some are I believe). The as you present it, it gets scanned (some already do this). It would then be checked against the passenger manifest.
It would be reasonably fast and not particularly noticable by the passengers. At many major airports a lot of this is in place right now.
July 10, 2011 at 9:40 am
I agree. I’ve said it for years that we should ask all active and retired cops to go armed on the flights. If they don’t need their personal weapon at the destination, loan them one from a Federal/State weapons pool. You could include military as well as far as I’m concerned. The bullets would be reduced powder charge with inverted hollow base wad cutters. One shot. Game over.
Not politically correct so not much chance. The bed wetters might be too terrified of some Hollywood exploding airplane sillyness. *sigh*
July 10, 2011 at 9:47 am
One may use the Glazer safety slug. It is a small shot cup filled very fine shot, akin to #11, and comes out in the one piece cup which breaks when it strikes its target. Not too much penetration but it a makes a mess of the human body. You hit a man with one of those and he is down.
They come in most common caliber/shell combos, 9mm, .38 Super Auto, .45 ACP etc.
I’ve tested them and they work very well.

Seems like this is the second (2nd) time this has happened in less than a month……
The first REPORTED incident was a Nigerian man arrested in L.A. last month…..

The tsa does such a good job protecting us.

It’s sad when we have to look to news in other countries to find out what’s happening in our own.

Take it with a grain of salt. The Daily Mail isn’t known as being super concerned with accuracy but they get the basic story right.

A good knock-out punch to the face would have silenced the slobbering dog.

So they don’t mention his race hmm…Typical of the corrupt lamestream media, especially coming from Chicago, the crooked and corrupt cesspool that it is. He was obviously a muslim male doing something suspicious. If he was a white male, they’d say that in the story. But since they don’t mention anything about his race, nationality, or religion, that’s the lamestream media’s political correctness code and is a dead giveaway. Why is it that I have never seen an article about the TSA doing their job and stopping someone BEFORE they get on the plane? It’s always AFTER they board the plane and it’s up to the passengers to do what the TSA should’ve done in the first place. What a worthless agency. They fail over and over and over again. Must be the only job, besides being a weatherman, where you can be wrong and fail over and over again and still have a job the next day. The TSA is an absolute joke. If they did their job, people wouldn’t be so hard on them. They’ll search grandma’s diaper, nuns, molest little white kids, and they do all of this to make it appear that they are “balanced” and are not targeting a certain race/nationality/religion, however they never use such tactics on Muslims or someone who appears suspicious. And it’s clearly not working, and never will. Last time I flew, they stopped and checked every single male with a scanner and pat down. The TSA agent told me they were doing it for 30 minutes, then switching to females, then back to mals. Wow that’s really effective huh? NOT. Instead of wasting time doing that, search the suspicious people, and let the rest of us do the normal walkthrough, my god. We need the private sector doing the TSA’s job. TSA is absolutely worthless. *FACEPALM*

maybe he slipped by when that perverted TSA agent was groping the 6 year old boy TWICE!

Probably a clerical error with respect to the passenger list and a case of Montezuma’s Revenge with respect to being in the bathroom 20 minutes. Has to be, otherwise there’d be charges. Heaven forbid someone eat some bad food prior to flight. This guy ended up basically bound and gagged for having the runs.

Alex you Jerk! The guy undoubtably a mooslem and was having trouble getting the sticks of dynamite he had stuffed up his ass out. Lucky he was “constipated” and couldn’t get them out quickly. I’m sure he got past the TSA with a expired pass because they were afraid to be accussed of racially profiling the Arab and there was a ninety year old lady with diapers on behind him and they wanted to check her out rather than hear from the ACLU and CAIR for picking on a raghead. Unfortumately we’ll never hear the real story but I’d bet my senario is almost fact.
Why do you defend this creep? You’re probably a mooslem or a wanabe one so take a hike anfd please leave our country…….

I thank for the information. I

Most of you people are idiots. It is sad but not surprising that you clamor for even MORE “security”, even an “Isreali” approach. You love giving up your freedoms so much that you want to be physically assaulted even MORE than you already are when flying. Pathetic. This story, just like the “liquid bombers” in Europe, the “underwear bomber” in the U.S., and tons of other “threats” is total bunk. There is NO threat. Let’s get rid of the scanners, millimeter wave, backscatter x-ray, TSA, and Homeland security and start living life before the government takes everything.

This is a sad story as my brother is bi-polar has can have episodes he cannot control but is not intentionally trying to cause any problems. I hope they evaluate this passenger, and realize that he was mishandled. So not fair, if that is the issue.
